![]() ![]() I don't think having an allowance will ensure that the issues of quality are acceptably met. We always provide an allowance amount, and get a stained glass artisan involved to do the actual design, fabrication and installation, or in renovations projects, to do the removal, restoration, and reinstallation. GC will schedule when it is required for install. Consult with some stained glass artists in your area for a budget price based in an image of whatever complexity to plug into your allowances section. As Ralph states, this is a delegated design/build scenario with means/methods/materials left up to the qualified artisan. We or I specifically would categorize this as "ART GLASS" and make reference in Division 08 Section "Glazing" or "Art Glass" to the Division 01 Section "Allowances." The description of the allowance would include reference to a drawing or drawings showing the design concept while the glazing section could include materials in Part 2 such as lead, solder, range of glass colors, etc. With an allowance you could get a basic "design/build' scenario, where the artisan does both the design and also executes the work, for the given price. I would agree with Wayne, because even if your office does the design work, it would be a nightmare to detail and then specify- the shapes, size, colors,framing, installation, etc. This sounds like a candidate for a Cash Allowance. 4specs Discussion Forum: Stained Glass SpecificationsĪrchive - Specifications Discussions #3 »Īny recommendations for specifying interior stained glass?
